Glock 43 Rumor Mill

The internet is awash with rumors regarding Glock’s new pistol, allegedly named the Glock 43. Most speculation is that the Glock 43 will be the long-awaited single-stack 9mm to compete with the very popular Smith & Wesson Shield.Â

This is allegedly a leaked photo of the G43:

At first glance the magazine looks too small, like someone photoshopped a Glock 42. Lending legitimacy to the image is the rumored size of the Glock 43 – only a few millimeters taller/wider than the Glock 42. If true, I think you can expect standard capacity to be the same as a G42 at 6+1, which will likely make it smaller than a S&W Shield.

I for one have tried one at my local shop, and it is vastly superior to the LC9, but alas I am “stuck” with my old model, which no one is going to buy since the release of the updated version. I will wait to see if the G43 is in fact going to be what it is rumored to be.

I support anything golck. I was concerned with the release of a .380 but after trying it you quickly grow found of it. Carry is not always about how small, but waht caliber. I personally carry a gen 4 mdl 29 in 10mm. Would be nice to see a 29 s to match the 30s……just a thought.
